I’m not sure if it’s the thing I’m most scared to do, it’s more like the thing I want to do MOST, and am scared to do it.
That is, getting into politics, on some level. Probably a very miniscule level, like city council. I would absolutely love to be a part of those processes, of making good changes.
But then the fear comes.
I have no experience in such things. What if I look stupid. Everyone else there…well they belong there and are smarter than I am. Which, deep down I probably know to not be true.
What if I run and spend all that time and money trying to get in only to lose?
And part of me wonders if it’s just my ego that is guiding me to set my eyes on such things. You’re supposed to be okay with being nothing, a nobody, making no waves or even ripples.
What it would take for a spineless imp like me to actually throw my hat in the ring, is someone saying “YOU NEED TO DO THIS CARLA!!”
And then guarantee me the votes.
